Definitions
- the present invention relates to a combustion process for melting glass, implemented in a glass melting furnace, but the invention can also be applied to other types of high temperature furnaces.
- NOx nitrogen oxides
- the main pathway of NOx formation is the “thermal” pathway where NOx is produced in areas of the furnace where flame temperatures are above 1600°C. Beyond this threshold, the formation of NOx increases exponentially with the flame temperature.
- the combustion techniques generally used in melting furnaces to create very radiative flames such as those mentioned above induce high flame temperatures (with maximums above 2000°C) and have the consequence of generating NOx emissions well higher than those allowed in many countries of the world.
- the object of the invention is thus to propose a method which makes it possible to remedy all the drawbacks stated above.
- the invention must make it possible to reduce the flame temperature peak in order to reduce the NOx emissions while increasing the temperatures of the surrounding fumes within the furnace (the NOx emissions produced in these zones are very low).
- the invention makes it possible to maintain, or even increase, the heat transfer to the glass bath as well as the efficiency of the furnace.
- the object of the invention is achieved with a combustion process for the fusion of glass according to which two fuels, of the same nature or of different natures, are introduced into a fusion laboratory at two places distant from each other to distribute the fuel in the fusion laboratory in order to limit NOx emissions, the supply of combustion air being done at one of the two places only.
- a glass melting furnace comprising a basin for receiving the glass to be melted and containing the bath of molten glass with, above the glass, walls forming respectively a front wall, a rear wall, side walls and a vault and constituting a melting laboratory, also called a combustion chamber, as well as at least one hot combustion air inlet (the combustion air inlet being also called "air stream”), for example at the outlet of a regenerator, at least one hot flue gas outlet and at least one burner for introducing a first fuel into the fusion laboratory.
- a hot combustion air inlet the combustion air inlet being also called "air stream”
- the melting furnace implemented further comprises at least one injector for injecting a second fuel into a zone of the melting laboratory which is remote from the burner and located between the vault and a horizontal plane located at a higher level. or equal to a horizontal plane passing through a lower edge of the hot combustion air inlet, the flow rate of the injector being adjustable in a complementary manner with respect to the burner in order to be able to inject up to 100% of all the first and second fuels used by the injector and the burner, whether the first and second fuels are of the same nature or of different natures.
- said horizontal plane delimiting the second fuel injection zone is located between the vault and a horizontal plane whose distance from the glass bath is greater than or equal to the minimum height of the air stream in the fusion laboratory.
- the front wall is that which bears the burner(s)
- the rear wall is the opposite wall and the side walls are the other two walls.
- this definition applies analogously to the corresponding wall sections.
- any indication of the number of burners or injectors arranged in a melting furnace implemented according to the invention is given purely by way of example and in no way prejudges a particular embodiment of such a oven.
- the principle of the present invention is just as valid when a melting furnace implemented according to the invention comprises a single burner and a single injector as when it comprises several and not necessarily an equal number of burners and injectors.
- the existing burners on a traditional oven are maintained. They are supplemented by one or more injectors making it possible to introduce into the fusion laboratory, in one or more zones remote from the burners, either another fuel or a fraction of the same fuel as that introduced by the burners.
- This injection is sometimes called auxiliary - as opposed to an additional injection, for example in post-combustion - because its purpose is not to increase the quantity or the flow of fuel, but to better distribute or distribute the quantity of fuel necessary for the quantity and type of glass to be melted and thus to achieve better heat transfer to the glass to be melted, while at the same time reducing NOx emissions.
- This arrangement of the invention which is moreover valid both when the first and the second fuels are of the same nature and when they are of different natures, is also the basis of the method of adjusting the flow rate of the injectors called " in a complementary way” indicated above.
- the flow rate of the second fuel is varied as a function of the flow rate of the first fuel so that, when the burner does not introduce all the fuel necessary for melting the glass, the remainder is introduced by one (or more) injector (s) arranged remote from the burner and, where appropriate, remote from each other, in regions or zones of the furnace where the second fuel will initially mix with the recirculated combustion products, it that is to say coming from the burner(s) and therefore being poor in oxygen, before igniting on contact with the hot combustion air not consumed to feed the flame of the burner(s).
- the burner operates in excess of air, that is to say that the burner introduces less first fuel than the combustion air flow would allow. This lowers the burner flame temperature from those temperatures that the flame would reach under stoichiometric conditions and thus reduces the emission of NOx.
- the combustion products fill the combustion chamber and are therefore present at the place or at all the places where an injector is placed to introduce the second fuel.
- the latter is first diluted by the combustion products of the first fuel and then ignites on the arrival of the combustion air not consumed by the combustion of the first fuel.
- the distance of the zones (of arrangement of the injectors) from the burner or burners depends for example on the geometrical data of the furnace and therefore on the time that the fumes will take to reach the injector; the injector must be far enough from the burner to allow the fumes to reach the injector and mix with the second fuel before the unconsumed combustion air from the combustion of the first fuel arrives, this air not consumed, then igniting the second fuel.
- the arrangement of one or more injectors with respect to the burner(s) of a glass melting furnace according to the present invention leads to a progressive combustion of the fuel introduced into these regions or zones, producing an increase in the flue gas temperature in these fuel-rich areas as well as a increase in heat transfer to the glass bath.
- the object of the invention is also achieved with a method of operating a glass melting furnace comprising a melting basin for receiving the glass to be melted and containing the bath of molten glass with, above the glass, walls constituting a fusion laboratory, at least one hot combustion air inlet, at least one hot flue gas outlet, as well as at least one burner and at least one injector for respectively injecting a first and a second fuel into the laboratory.
- a first and a second fuel is injected into the furnace by means of the burner(s) and the injector(s), the injector(s) being arranged on one or more wall(s) different from that on which the burner(s) is (are) positioned and remote from the burner(s), and the burner(s) and the injector(s) are adjusted in a complementary manner so that all of the first and second fuels used by the injector(s) (4) and the burner(s) s) (1) largely corresponds to the total flow rate normally used on the furnace, whether the first and second fuels are of the same nature or of different natures.
- the fraction of the fuel which is introduced as second fuel, or the quantity of a second fuel different from the first, is determined for each furnace and can go up to the totality of the quantity of fuel.
- the second fuel is in a quantity comprised between 30% and 100% of a quantity of fuel totaling the first and the second fuels.
- the first fuel is introduced into the melting furnace with an excess of air compared to the stoichiometric combustion air flow
- the fraction of fuel introduced by the injectors no longer feeds the burner
- the portion of burnt fuel with a flame front at high temperature is reduced, thus generating less thermal NOx emissions.
- the combustion air not used by the burner remains available for the combustion of the second fuel introduced by the injector.
- the potential injection points can be located on the side and rear walls of the furnace and on the wall forming a vault.
- the center of the vault which, in the case of the traditional rectangular shapes of glass melting furnaces, is a line of transverse symmetry or a line of longitudinal symmetry of the vault with respect to a reference direction given by the direction of the flame of the burner, can be particularly interesting for the injection of the second fuel, because by choosing this place, one can divide by two the number of injectors necessary for the realization of the invention.
- the speed and the direction of introduction of the second fuel have an influence on the result obtained by the implementation of the various arrangements of the invention.
- these two characteristics are determined during the design of the device.
- An error in determining the position of the injectors or their geometry can not only compromise the efficiency of the combustion technique but can also lead to a drop in the efficiency of the furnace as well as an increase in the temperature of the refractory regenerators. In extreme cases, premature oven shutdown may occur.
- Such models make it possible, for example, for a transverse melting furnace, to determine the injection position located at the top and in the center for a burner as being one of the most favorable to the targeted reduction of NOx emissions, with a variable injected secondary fuel ratio depending on the emission level limits to be achieved for this burner.
- An important advantage of symmetrical crown injection compared to side injection is the use of the same injectors for the left-hand and right-hand lights.
- the number of burners to be fitted with an injector may vary.
- the auxiliary injections in the vault must preferably be done, like the injections on the walls, in a zone located between the vault and a horizontal plane whose distance from the glass bath is greater than or equal to the minimum height of the air stream.
- the injections will be made, symmetrically or not, on either side of the furnace.
- the optimum location of the injection point(s) is achieved by using a model, because from one loop furnace to another the recirculations can be different, and this mainly due to the width/length ratio of the furnace.
- auxiliary combustion technique developed here by adding it to the combustion technique already present on the furnace. This is done by adjusting the fuel flows between the injectors and the burner so as to achieve a balance between NOx reduction, type of glass and thermal efficiency appropriate to each installation concerned.
- the approach of the invention also allows a progressive implementation of this new combustion technique, thus reducing or eliminating the risks of loss of production due to damage to the furnace. Finally, this approach allows the operator to return to his initial combustion configuration at any time.
- the auxiliary combustion technique of the invention is likely to be able to be used also on other types of glass melting furnace (for example Unit-Melter furnaces or recuperative furnaces), as well as on furnaces other than glass melting furnaces.
- the fuel injected by auxiliary routes will be natural gas in the furnaces fueled with natural gas or fuel oil
- the use of different fuels such as biogas, hydrogen, LPG and fuel oil does not is not excluded.
- the injectors can be equipped with a rotation system (swirler) making it possible to control the shape of the flame independently of the secondary fuel flow rate so as to be able to inject up to 100% of all the fuel used by the injectors and the burner(s) without affecting the glass bath.
- a rotation system switching mechanism
- the injectors can be equipped with a device allowing the fuel pulse (double pulse) to be adjusted, independently of the secondary fuel flow rate, so as to be able to inject up to 100% of the total fuel used by the injector(s). and the burner(s) without affecting the glass bath.
- the injectors can be non-circular in shape or include multi-jets in order to adjust the shape of the flame without affecting the glass bath.
- the reduction of the nitrogen oxides contained in the combustion products is obtained by using the combination of the burners already present on the furnace with auxiliary fuel injections in the smoke recirculation zones of said furnace.
- the injections are made according to one or more jets located in optimal locations on the furnace defined by using a methodology based on digital simulation which can be coupled or not to the representation of the flows by a cold model of the furnace.
- the plane of the injections can be parallel, perpendicular or transverse to the surface of the glass bath.
- the figures 1 and 2 each represent very schematically two types of glass melting furnaces traditionally used, namely a transverse regenerative and a loop furnace. Both types of ovens have a rectangular base bounded by four walls, the two walls of which extending in the direction of the length of the oven are here called the side walls and the other two walls of which are called the transverse walls. In height, each of the ovens is limited by a vault.
- the burners 1 are arranged in the side walls 2 and operate alternately on one side and then on the other for about twenty to thirty minutes per side.
- the cold combustion air A is preheated in two heat recuperators R, namely alternately, according to the operating rate of the burners, in that of the two recuperators which is close to the burners in operation.
- the resulting fumes F then heat the one of the two recuperators R which is far from the burners in operation.
- the burners 1 are arranged in a transverse wall 3.
- the range of the flame of each of the burners 1 is such that, under the influence of the wall opposite transverse, the end of each of the flames describes a loop.
- Cold combustion air is preheated in part of a multi-chamber recuperator R before being directed as hot combustion air AC to the burners.
- the resulting fumes are then directed to the other regenerator to heat it up.
- the flames are directed approximately parallel to the surface of the glass bath B.
- the figure 4 represents, in a diagram indicating the NOx level reached as a function of the distribution of power between a burner 1 and the injector(s) 4, results obtained in a semi-industrial test furnace (or test cell). It will be noted more particularly that the level of NOx emissions decreases with the increase in the proportion of fuel injected through the secondary injectors
- the figure 5 represents once again the loop oven of the picture 2 , but this time with indication of the zone IN in which, according to the invention, the secondary injections of fuel must be carried out in a space defined above the flames, that is to say between the vault V and a horizontal plane P whose distance to the bath of glass B is greater than or equal to the minimum height of the air stream VA, i.e. in an area of the fusion laboratory which is remote from the burner and located between the vault and a horizontal plane passing through an edge bottom of the hot combustion air inlet.
- auxiliary injections are made advantageously, but not necessarily, symmetrically on either side of the furnace.
- the injectors are arranged in a zone corresponding at least approximately to a central zone with respect to the burners arranged in the side walls of the furnace and operating by side alternately or simultaneously.
- Tests were made with such a melting furnace at a unit power of the under-port burners of 1.03 MW with a burner injection angle of 10°, an air factor of 1.1, a temperature of preheated air from 1000°C and an oven temperature of 1500°C. The results are represented on the figure 4 , 6 , 7 and 8 .
- the figure 6 represents, in the form of a diagram, the levels of CO and NOx at 8% oxygen for different distributions of power between a burner and one or more allocated injectors, the injector or injectors being arranged in the vault of the furnace.
- the figure 7 represents, in the form of a diagram, the top temperature levels for two different operating modes of the furnace, namely for a single burner and for a burner with an injector which injects between 30% and 100% of the fuel. It can be seen that the process does not cause the vault to overheat.
- the figure 8 represents, in the form of a diagram, the thermal flows transmitted to the load without and with secondary injection.
- the heat flux is highest for secondary injections between 30 and 80% of the fuel.
- the figure 6 represents, in the form of a diagram, the levels of NOx and CO of a furnace without and with an auxiliary injection of up to 100% of the fuel. It is observed that the NOx levels decrease when the share of second fuel increases. The CO levels increase, for their part, gradually with the share of auxiliary fuel but in completely tolerable proportions.
